Our Italian Heritage
The Ventura family originated in Abruzzo Italy, where for three generations, prosciutto and other Italian delicacies were produced for the local people in the area. This tradition was then brought to Australia by brothers, Francesco and Carmine Ventura.
For the next 30 years Carmine and wife Angelina continued to make Italian delicacies from their North Fitzroy butcher shop, and today, the family tradition lives on through son Domenic and grandson Carmine Jnr who use only the finest of Australian grown produce to manufacture these very special products from their state of the art facility in Clayton, Victoria.
Casalingo continues to grow today with a focus on European style meats including prosciutto, pancetta, chorizo, bresaola, a classic range of salamis and the finest fresh sausages. Our products are made in Australia from traditional recipes and are manufactured specifically for the Australian/Asian market.
Today Casalingo is committed to continue delivering and enhancing this quality product to the specialty retail and wholesale market.
